Developing intercultural competence (IC) through foreign language is believed to lead to rejecting prejudices and stereotypes and fostering bilingualism and biculturalism. Despite the growth of publications on technologies and IC, a significant gap exists between what is known (evidence) and what is done (practice) at the levels of decision making and course design. This scoping review, guided by the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, is conducted to systematically map peer-reviewed literature, taking a longitudinal perspective to update the existing reviews, identify knowledge gaps, and provide a new conclusion to the topic investigated. A transparent, replicable review protocol was designed a priori. A formal Advisory Group was established to incorporate various perspectives and ensure the applicability of the review findings. The main findings suggest that the concept of IC is not uniformly defined across the studies examined, and the development and dynamic nature of the concept is not captured. Numerous studies rely on chosen aspects of the construct only. Still, most of them report largely positive findings concerning the development of IC in FL online learning environments. It is possible that this high number of positive findings includes some cases of type II error or false positives.

Introduction. A crucial topic of investigation in modern education is the study of self-learning abilities among college students, especially in using innovative technologies. In order to improve educational practices and student results, it is crucial to understand how students adapt to and use digital tools and online resources for self-directed learning. This is because these resources are becoming increasingly important to academic performance. The purpose of this study is to explore how college students utilize digital tools and online resources for self-learning. Study participants and methods. This investigation, which involved 500 pupils, set out to answer four primary questions: (1) the confidence that college students have in their abilities to learn independently with the help of digital tools; (2) how students' use and familiarity with cutting-edge tools change as they progress through college; (3) whether there are any gender variations in students' ability to learn on their own using modern technology; and (4) whether or not there are any relationships between students' grades and their use of cutting-edge study tools, using a Likert-scale survey. Results. The results demonstrated that out of 500 college students, 60% had faith in self-directed learning through innovative technology, with 200 agreeing and 100 strongly agreeing. On the other side, nearly a quarter were uneasy, with seventeen percent remaining indifferent and sixty-five percent strongly opposing. Just 10% of first-year students reported often utilizing tools, indicating reduced tool utilization and comfort. Whereas half of the fourth-year students regularly used them, the other half used them more frequently and were more comfortable with them. The study did not find any notable difference in the usage of technology for self-learning based on gender. There was an association between grade point average and technology use; students whose GPAs were between 3.5 and 4.0 were more likely to use technology frequently (4.8 out of 5.0) and were more comfortable using it (4.5 out of 5.0). Practical significance. This study has the ability to shed light on current educational procedures and strategies, which is where its practical significance lies. Teachers can gain a better grasp of how students make use of and adjust to digital resources for independent study in order to incorporate these technologies into lessons in a way that may improve students' learning experiences and outcomes. Insights from this study regarding the link between tech use and higher GPAs can help schools design better online classrooms. More personalized and efficient methods of higher education instruction can be a result of the study's impact on educational technology policy decisions.

“…Educational systems to address learning needs have a role in laying out guidelines and directions for forwardlooking outcomes and ensuring that certain conditions are followed so that they can be achieved as the education administration agency expects (e.g. Kosaretsky et al, 2022). Each district or its equivalent can establish certain standards and parameters that address community needs and quality.…”

This study aimed to look into the impact of educational practices on the reading and writing skills of learners, with a specific focus on the gaps and bonds in EFL learning while communication skills carried follow-ups. The study employed a mixed methodology, which embraced communication contexts placed in the teaching process, and self-perceptions of the participants in a multidimensional communication axis to collect data via surveys, observational forms and exploratory statistics. The results indicate that while there is a stable level of variation in terms of reading and writing achievement, there are setbacks in certain areas such as fill-in-the-blank questions in complex activities and sentence rewriting tasks. Additionally, the study found that providing students with picture clues can improve their performance. The study also suggests that blending both reading and writing skills in activities can lead to large linkages and improvements in performance.
